The Contemplations, Rants & Reminiscences of DavidB327

Something Sensational To Read On The Train

My sleeping pattern is completely awry at the moment.I’m not sure whether this is down to stress, a side effect of coming of Phenytoin (though I’ve been at 200mg pd for over 5 weeks now), a combination of the two, or down to other factors.Either way I am wide awake at a ridiculously early hour, having been unable to sleep.So I have decided to get up and start work early today.I will probably start to feel tired by lunchtime.

I’ve just realised that I have passed a milestone of sorts this month.It’s now more than 30 years since I started shaving my head.I actually first shaved my head in the summer of 1975.Due to the negative vibes I kept getting I felt too unsettled at that time to carry on with it.So I grew my hair back, even though I felt much better without.Nevertheless in May 1978 I decided to start shaving my head again, and have never stopped.No particular reason why I should remember the month – I just do.Odd as it may seem, apart from family and a few people from the old days in Manchester I hardly ever see, there isn’t anyone I come across that’s ever seen me with hair.Needless to say they never will.
